Cover art for Snakes on a Ladder lyrics by Handsome Furs

heres what im getting:

He knows your name, boy You'll write it down Under bridges into town And whats that rusting?, you're fathers crown! And our mother sleeps in the ground

I go out walking, my own feet And I might sing, "Oh bury me" And from the bedroom exudes the awful sound And our mother sleeps in the ground

Oh, snakes on the ladder Oh, my eyes were something i saw

There's a motion in the sky And the singer who called outside To the woods reflecting back a million sounds Of our lives, inside the forest off Greyhound?

Oh, Snakes on the ladder Oh, my eyes were something i saw

I think this song is about him feeling really depressed about his mothers death and him wanting to die also to be with her again.

thats pretty much it in a nutshell. either way its a beautiful and powerful song. my favorite of plague park
